Adding a Calling Search Space

The following procedure describes how to add a calling search space.

Step 1 Open Cisco CallManager Administration.

Timesaver Use concise and descriptive names for your Calling search spaces. The CompanynameLocationCalltype format usually provides a sufficient level of detail and is short enough to enable you to quickly and easily identify a calling search space. For example, CiscoDallasMetroCS identifies a calling search space for toll free inter-LATA (Local Access and Transport Area) calls from the Cisco office in Dallas.

Step 4 Enter a description in the Description field. The description can consist of up to 50 alphanumeric characters, and can contain any combination of spaces, periods (.), hyphens (-), and underscore characters (_). If you do not enter a description, the calling search space name is automatically entered in this field.

Step 5 Select partitions in the Available Partitions list box and add them to the Selected Partitions list box by clicking the arrow buttons between the two list boxes.

Step 6 To move a partition, select a partition name in the Selected Partitions list box. Move the partition up or down in the list by clicking the arrows on the right side of the list box.

Step 7 Click Insert to add the new calling search space. The new calling search space name is added to the calling search space list on the left side of the page, and the message "Status: Insert completed" is displayed.

Step 8 To add more calling search spaces, click New and repeat Steps 3 through 7.
